Solution

Actually,the brain teaser is very-very easy and with the carefully reading of it can be solved even in one minut.This is one of the brain teasers which we solve for fun.The main information is that the product of the children'ages is 36.If we don't consider that a eight-year old boy is no longer a child we can accept those solutions: (1,1,36),(1,2,18),(1,3,12),(1,4,9),(1,6,6),(2,2,9),(2,3,6),(3,3,4); But not all of these are corect.I said the least child wears shorts and that means both the child is than an year old and that the brain teaser doesn't allow twins (there's a least child, not a little one ).If we consider this the solutions remained is: (2,3,6).
